Scientific paper

The high-resolution UV spectrometer aboard the Copernicus satellite was used to observe the interstellar gas toward the moderately reddened star Chi Oph. The data are consistent with the hypothesis that the material in both the -6 and -12 km/s blend of gas and the -26 km/s cloud could have been affected by shock front activity, though the signatures of that activity are different in each case. These observations of the blend of gas establish that both low and high density neutral material must be present.
